At Fort Myers Laser Dentistry, your health is our top priority. That’s why we include thorough oral cancer screenings as part of our routine preventive care. Early detection plays a critical role in successful treatment, and regular screenings are your first line of defense.

During your visit, we carefully examine your lips, cheeks, tongue, gums, and throat for any unusual changes, such as lesions, discoloration, or lumps. We also discuss any symptoms you may have experienced, especially those lasting more than a week without improvement. If you’ve noticed unexplained mouth bleeding, persistent sores, white or red patches, difficulty swallowing, or a constant sore throat, don’t wait—schedule a screening.

While oral cancer can affect anyone, certain risk factors—such as tobacco use, alcohol consumption, sun exposure, poor diet, GERD, and family history—can increase your chances. Men are more commonly affected than women, and tobacco users face significantly higher risk.

When caught early, oral cancer has an 80–90% survival rate. That’s why we emphasize prevention and early intervention at every appointment. Screenings are quick, painless, and could save your life.
